    • Widgit accessabililty

      I’m reading about widgits which I don’t know much about. I’m looking for a widgit that would allow me to watch in real time a webpage with no api on my magicmirror. Anyone know of such a widgit or where I can browse all the widgits available?
      Thanks all you smart people out there.

    • RE: PIR and config.js

      @N6NG When I put the
      exec (“/usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0”, null);
      in the config.js I get an error. When I run npm run config:check it says that line has an Unexpected token
      “/usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0”

    • RE: PIR and config.js

      @N6NG Do I modify it where it is or do I copy it into the config.js ? If I modify it where it is and change the sensor pin what would I put in the config.js?

    • RE: PIR and config.js

      @sdetweil Use the whole node_helper.js except as I modify it? The only thing I would modify would be the sensor pin number… All else would stay the same?
      Thanks

    • RE: PIR and config.js

      I never saw an example of what the config.js would look like to have the vcgencmd be used to turn the screen on and off. Would someone post a part of a config.js with this in use so I can get a look at how it would be used? I would appreciate it.
      Thanks all

    • PIR and config.js

      I saw the thread about running the script below to see if the screen would react to the vcgencmd.

      /usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0; echo “Display should now be off”; sleep 20; /usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 1; echo “And now it should be on again”

      I did so and the screen did as advertised… My problem is I’m not sure how to incorporate this into the config.js to make my PIR work properly.

      {
      		module: "MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite",
      		position: "top_right",
      		config: {
      			sensorPin: 2, // GPIO pin
      		        commandType:  "vcgencmd",  
                                      }
      } 
      

      Can one of you smart people give me some ideas?
      Thanks all…
